Chapter 22: You aliens really know how to play!
As the intelligent identification system turned on the green light, a car slowly drove into the courtyard of Iron Man's beach house.
Iron Man Tony's current girlfriend and Stark Industries CEO Pepper Pepper. After Botz finished handling the recent affairs of Stark Enterprises as quickly as possible, he first took a plane, then drove himself, and rushed all the way back to Iron Man's ocean-view villa in Malibu, California. She planned to pack some things here, and then she would take Tony with her and leave the villa, and they would go outside to find a remote place to relax or something.
It wasn't that she suddenly had some romantic idea and wanted to leave her job and go on vacation with her boyfriend, but it was Pepper Pepper. Boz had already seen Tony from major media and newspapers. Stark's provocative words towards the "Mandarin". Especially since Tony actually announced his family name to the world this time. He was simply pointing his finger at the Mandarin, asking him to come and compete in the ring if he had the guts!
This reckless and unplanned approach gave Pepper a headache. Of course she knew very well about the attack and hospitalization of Iron Man's former personal bodyguard Habi. She even went to the hospital to see him in person. But it was precisely because of this that Pepper . Poz decided to take Tony away from the villa for a while in the near future.
——Unlike Tony, who has become more and more fond of being a hero over the years, as a woman, Pepper. Botz doesn't like Tony's overly exciting adventure life at all, and doesn't even want him to continue to be a superhero. Because every heroic adventure of Iron Man would make her worry about Tony's safety and life and death. Especially during the epic battle with the alien invaders Chitauri in New York half a year ago, she could only stay in a safe place alone, pray and worry, but could not do anything to help her boyfriend, or So that Tony can go home safely.
As a strong woman who is proficient in business and finance, Pepper Pepper. Botz can certainly manage Stark Enterprises in an orderly manner, but in the world of superheroes, she has no involvement at all. The power of money seems so weak and useless in that arena where violence is paramount.
Pepper Pepper. Boz really, really hated this feeling of helpless frustration, because it forced her to admit that she was so weak.
Indeed, Pepper also sympathized with Habi's experience and was furious with the terrorist leader "The Mandarin" who attacked Habi and killed many innocent people, but this did not mean that she agreed with Tony's use of provocative words to stimulate The man who planned that terrorist attack.
Therefore, as a girlfriend, Pepper thought that she needed to coax Tony to go out and hide with her for a while as soon as possible, and then come back after everything calmed down. To this end, she spent a whole day arranging emergency matters for the next seven or eight days and appointed several new temporary personnel positions. If there is something urgent that she must handle in person, the convenience brought by modern technology should also support her remote work.
Then, she left the newly rebuilt Stark Industries Building in Manhattan, New York, and crossed the entire United States from east to west to Iron Man Tony's beach house in Malibu, California - this was really a long journey that could almost The crazy commute from get off work.
Thank God, when she arrived at the villa, everything seemed to be the same as usual. At least I didn't see a smoky ruin. In addition to various hidden places in the fields outside the villa, there are more paparazzi reporters than usual, more guns and cannons set up, and perhaps drones and monitors - for Hollywood stars and superheroes For any American celebrity with a fixed address, these guys are basically a daily presence like flies and mosquitoes, hanging around your house every day, waiting to make big news.
Then, there was a small cone-shaped spaceship model in the courtyard in front of the house, which was somewhat similar to the old Apollo spacecraft command module, but it was nothing strange. Tony always made a lot of weird things every day. Things, such as the Iron Man suit is one of them. This was already the case when he was not Iron Man. Even if this spaceship could really take off, Miss Potts would not be surprised.
She skillfully parked the car at the door of the villa, then opened the door and entered, "...Jarvis, is Tony at home?"
"...Mr. Stark is entertaining guests on the rooftop balcony, Miss Potts. Several children who claim to be aliens just came to visit him in the spaceship outside the door." The smart housekeeper program replied, "... …Although I think such a small aircraft should be more like a landing module.”
"...Aliens? Protoss from Asgard?" When talking about aliens, Miss Potts immediately thought of the big blond Thor, because of his active performance in the Battle of Manhattan in New York and his... Through a series of hot interviews with the media, this sometimes majestic, sometimes silly Thor has become the most familiar alien image to people around the world. "...But why did Tony go to the balcony to entertain them?"
< br>
"...It seems to be to test an alien technology product they brought, Miss Potts. That thing is really wonderful."
"...Just like the last time the Rubik's Cube?" Pepper shrugged. After hanging around Iron Man for so long, experiencing so many adventures, and meeting so many superheroes, she has lost interest in many new things. Curiosity, only the fear and resistance to avoid it.
"...Anyway, that's the situation. Miss Potts, do you need me to call Mr. Stark down?" the smart housekeeper program continued to ask.
"...No need to disturb me, I will wait for him below. Maybe there is something important related to world peace that Tony needs to worry about!"
Pepper Pepper. Poz yawned slightly tiredly and sat down on the sofa in the living room of the villa. Then he noticed the things on the coffee table, "...hot tea and animal cookies? Tony actually prepared such a treat for children. Something? (Chewing) It seems to taste okay." She threw a few pieces of animal biscuits into her mouth, and then poured herself a cup of tea, "...Well, this tea is quite fragrant..."
Since he had just rushed to California from New York, which was thousands of kilometers away, and there was almost no water on the road, Pepper Potts was already tired, thirsty and hungry, so he couldn't help but eat several pieces of animal crackers in a row. , and drank a lot of tea one cup after another... However, without Miss Potts realizing it, her face shape had gradually begun to undergo subtle changes, and her body had quietly become furry...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
At the same time, the aroma of various foods was wafting from the rooftop balcony planted with plants in this sea-view villa.
However, the several cacti that were originally tall and upright seemed to have been squeezed out of medicine residue. They all shriveled down for some unknown reason.
"...This is indeed a very interesting gadget! You can take it out during parties to show off and liven up the atmosphere."
After tasting another piece of chocolate cake grown from a cactus using [Plant Modification Fluid], Tony Stark wiped his mouth and commented with his usual venomous tongue, "...you really can't explain the science. Principle? Even just a general concept.”
"...It's a pity, Mr. Tony, we really don't know such profound knowledge!" Wang Qiu, the younger version of the younger generation who pretends to be younger, rolled his eyes helplessly, "...Do you think the average American today? Elementary school students, can you tell me how to make a home computer? ”
"...Well, indeed, they probably don't even know how to multiply and divide four-digit numbers...I forgot to take your knowledge level into account. But wouldn't it be very unfair? In this transaction, wouldn't it be unfair? , I need to explain it from the basic principles and guide you step by step in making the Ark reactor." Tony shrugged, "...and you just threw me a few gadgets that you don't even understand the principles of." br>
"...So we gave you four small props that we think are very interesting. They are all currently unable to be produced by Earth's technology. You can take them and study them slowly. Then we only hope that you can help us make a handmade ark. Reactor. I think it's a fair deal, Mr. Stark."
Political Commissar Guo, who had shrunk his age, also rolled his eyes, as if he couldn't stand Iron Man's greed, "...if you still don't think it's enough, then after the event is completed, you can also take our spaceship to the moon or Mars. Have some fun..."
——Currently, the space channel with Doraemon's plane has been cut off due to an unfortunate accident. All the props in the hands of the government are stocks purchased previously. Although there are still many in quantity, they are still using one less one. Pieces are only consumed but not replenished, and it is impossible to imitate them. Although the decision to take out some of the black technology props from the Doraemon world that have no important use in exchange for the old-fashioned Ark reactor technology from Iron Man has been unanimously approved by the superior leaders, Political Commissar Guo is still instinctively reluctant to pay too many props. ……
"...Well, this condition seems pretty good. Although I have traveled to many places, I have never been to the outside of the earth in my life." Tony blinked, "...Okay, now let me see what you are sending me. There are only two gifts left, I can’t wait.”
Then, as soon as they walked indoors from the rooftop balcony and stood at the top of the spiral staircase, the group saw a pure white big cat wearing designer women's clothing, curled up on the sofa in the living room, lazily raising its head towards Iron Man Cat Claw, "...Hi! Dear Tony, Meow! Are you done now, Meow? I have something very important to discuss with you Meow? What's wrong with me Meow? Oh! My Meow - Meow - —”
She seemed to have suddenly discovered something strange about herself, and immediately jumped three feet high from the sofa, and then scratched the coffee table and pillars with her cat paws in a hurry.
At the same time, Iron Man Tony also widened his eyes, scratched his hair, and looked at this strange creature in the living room in disbelief, "...God! Is this female cat...Pepper? My dear, How did you become like this? Oh! It must be the fault of you little bastards!"
The next moment, Iron Man Tony turned around suddenly, grabbed Wang Qiu who was also in a daze, grabbed his collar and lifted him up into the air, "...Tell me what's going on?" Star Boy! If anything happens to Pepper, I will never forgive you!"
"...Ahem! Please calm down! Mr. Stark! Please calm down! This is not our fault, and the matter is not as serious as you think!"
Seeing the angry expression on Iron Man's forehead with stretched veins and almost red eyes, Wang Qiu quickly raised his hand and explained, "...I think this lady must have eaten [Transformed Animal Crackers], which is what we just said Another gift I brought..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
After a while, Tony, who finally calmed down, finally hugged Pepper Pepper, who was still in her female cat-person state. Boz sat side by side on the sofa in the living room of the villa, while Wang Qiu held the culprit cookie box in his hand and explained to them the magical effects of this cookie.
"...This is [Transformation Animal Biscuit], or [Transformation Biscuit] for short, a very interesting gadget whose main purpose seems to be games and pranks. As long as you eat any of the cookies, you will become The cookie’s animal shape”
Wang Qiu took out a cat-shaped biscuit from the box and showed it to Iron Man and his girlfriend, "...Miss Potts ate such a biscuit, so she turned into a cat. Please don't worry, this is all The normal function of [Transformation Biscuit]..."
"...It's incredible. It sounds a bit like Professor Banner who turned into the Hulk."
After calming down, Tony let out a breath and reached out to scratch the chin of Meow Girl Boz, causing her to make a series of comfortable purring sounds from her throat. Then, because of this behavior, which was like teasing a cat, she was unfortunately hit by Little Pepper. With a paw of shame and anger, "...Although it seems fun to watch my girlfriend turn into a cat, I still prefer Pepper's original appearance. What can be done to restore her to her original state?"
"...There is nothing you need to do, Mr. Stark. If you want to get rid of this experience of transforming into an animal, you and Miss Potts just need to sit and wait patiently for a while, because Animal Crackers only take effect for five years. Minutes." Wang Qiu replied.
Sure enough, almost as soon as Wang Qiu finished speaking, Pepper Pepper. The down on Botz's body and the whiskers on his face began to disappear quickly, and a pair of cat paws with fleshy pads returned to a pair of jade hands. In short, he changed from a female cat person to a cat-eared lady, facing towards A big step forward in the direction of mankind. Then after a while, the cat ears on her head disappeared, and her whole body completely returned to its original state.
Look at Pepper Pepper. Botz's body recovered as before, and the anxious expression on Iron Man Tony's face suddenly became much more relaxed, but he still ordered his smart butler program "Jarvis" to scan Pepper's whole body and confirm her All tissues and organs throughout the body are normal.
"...Huh, okay, it seems like there are no side effects, but you aliens are really good at playing. I thought the various masquerade balls and carnival performances on the earth were lively enough, but I didn't expect you aliens. You can still play to this point..."
He glanced at Wang Qiu, then approached his girlfriend and asked in a low voice, "...How are you? My dear, do you feel there is anything wrong with you?"
"...It's okay, but there are a lot of hairs on my clothes and I feel uncomfortable, and my underwear is torn by the tail that just popped out..."
Pepper Pepper. Botz frowned and picked up a few torn pieces of light cloth from the sofa, sighed with a wry smile, stood up and walked upstairs, "...I'll go to the bedroom to change one first, alien stuff. It’s really hard to bear! What’s wrong with me?”
——In full view of the public, Miss Potts once again grew fur all over her body, with a pair of ears on her head, and a big fluffy tail emerging from her skirt, which dangled under her skirt as if sweeping the floor... In short , Iron Man Tony was stunned to see with his own eyes, his dear girlfriend Pepper. Botz had just recovered from being a cat, and within a few minutes, he turned into a dog again!
Then, Tony turned around suddenly and was about to ask the visitor a question, but Wang Qiu already knew what he wanted to say, so he simply spoke in advance:
"...Mr. Stark, I know what you want to ask. Please rest assured that this is a normal phenomenon, because Miss Potts obviously ate more than one [transformation cookie] just now. The first one that took effect was the cat cookie, and the second one took effect Just puppy biscuits..." He shook the half-empty biscuit box in his hand and said.
"...Uh...then...how long will her special state last? I mean it will end completely." Tony asked.
"...Well, each cookie can continue to transform for five minutes, and then there will be a buffer time of about five to ten minutes between the two transformations..."
Wang Qiu shook the half-empty biscuit box again, "...Miss Potts, how many pieces of this biscuit did you eat just now?"
"... Huh? People don't really count the amount when they eat biscuits! About... twenty yuan? Or thirty yuan?"
Pepper became a dog again. Miss Potts muttered uncertainly while sticking out her tongue.
——The [Transformation Biscuits] Wang Qiu and the others brought this time are mini-sized. Each biscuit is about the size of a coin, so Miss Pepper Potts, who happened to be feeling a little hungry at that time, was just I grabbed several handfuls of biscuits and stuffed them directly into my mouth...
Iron Man Tony, on the other hand, reluctantly raised his forehead with his hands, "...Well, in that case, dear Pepper, it seems that before tonight, you can only experience the feeling of vacuum in your lower body, and you can temporarily communicate with your inner body ♂ Goodbye pants...Oh, you aliens are so good at playing!”
But at the next moment, his voice suddenly rose, and it was filled with some unusually subtle pleasure, "...Such an interesting thing is really worth remembering! Don't forget it casually! Jarvis! Remember to remember it!" I took pictures of all the different animals that Pepper transformed into today, using the highest resolution! I will choose the most interesting one to use as the background picture of my phone! br>
"...Follow your orders, Mr. Stark!" The voice of the smart butler program sounded in the void in the room. "...Oh! No! Damn Tony——"
